Beryl, a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 110 mph, is currently weakening in the western Caribbean Sea, as reported by the National Hurricane Center. The storm is positioned 275 miles east-southeast of Tulum, Mexico, and is moving in a west-northwest direction at a speed of 18 mph. Fortunately, Beryl has moved away from the Cayman Islands, leading to the discontinuation of all warnings for the area.
Mexico is now bracing for the impact of Beryl, with the hurricane expected to make landfall along the Yucatan Peninsula late Thursday night or early Friday morning. While Beryl is no longer classified as a major hurricane (Category 3 or stronger), it did maintain that status for over four days, making it one of the few storms to do so in the Atlantic basin before August. The only other hurricane to achieve this feat was Emily in 2005, which also spent 102 hours as a major hurricane.
